Because there are only a select few airlines that venture out to French Polynesia, you'll find that getting there isn't quite as easy as you might assume. Another thing you'll want to note is that the airlines that do travel to French Polynesia all fly into Tahiti, before departing to the other nearby islands. Thankfully, Moorea is practically in the shadow of Tahiti so you actually have a few transportation options, unlike most of the rest in the large island group, where a flight is the only practical way of getting there.
With that said, there's a good chance that you are heading for one of the finest resorts in the South Pacific, as the Moorea overwater bungalow hotels are all world-class properties that are famous in their own right. There are actually more overwater bungalows off of Bora Bora, but those take a little bit longer to reach. Because of this, many honeymoon couples like to book their first few nights in Moorea and then fly from there to Bora Bora or one of the other South Pacific islands.
Im interested in know where the overwater bungalows are located. Do they have any that close to Destin Florida?
Nekitha,
There are some overwater bungalows on a lake in the Disney resort. Aside from those the closest are in Jamaica at Sandals. -Roger
I would love to reserve a week stay in an over the water bungalow including May 16th 2021.

Please let me know. Looking to book asap
thanks
Yanna,
We are simply an online guide to overwater resorts and we don’t do bookings. We do have booking links for every resort on the site, so booking online is usually your best bet. Best of luck with this. In normal years it would be impossible to get a last-minute deal over Christmas, but this year might be different. I’d check agoda.com as they almost always have the best rates in the Maldives. -Roger
Any suggestions as to a nice place for an extended stay? Preferably on a beach, over water and food inclusive. I have heard a rumour about $30 k per couple for a one year stay…any substance to that? We don’t need a year,, but would certainly consider three to five months. We are retired, used to travel a lot, and have homes in Canada and Mexico. We are now a bit bored in Canada and Mexico is a bit dicey.
Any deals?
David,
I’m not aware of any good deals on overwater bungalows in countries where you can stay for extended periods. The Maldives now has a deal for US$30,000 to stay in a water villa for a whole year, but I believe you can only stay 30 days at a time. It’s a really tough time for anything like this, and hopefully next year it will get better. -Roger
